>> am doing that to some degree. My program has FoxPro
use Apple Events to communicate with Pagemaker through
a program called Userland Frontier, and that has to be done
on a Mac. Apple Events are the mac equivalent of DDE.<<

I look at modular concepts. For example in your case I
would do the Win thing and then call a function to do your
actual Apple Events thing. This way someone can do their
work at getting their 'module' done (in Win for example).
You make the DDE thingy. Then when their done they ship
it to you where you check out the total package. This
should increase productivity.

Another example that I do is I make all Forms modular in
3.0. This way I can run every form as a seperate entity.
It really pays off doing it this way -- big time. It may
require a few line of extra code & some brain cells but
it beats the heck out of running your app everytime you
want to check out screen #43!!!

>>BTW, has the official retail MAc version shipped?? You
>mentioned Beta but I read an article from MS where it
>sounded like it was the real McCoy.<<

>I heard it would be shipping in the Summer or Fall. Where
did you see the article?<

The MS response on page 6 of FoxPro Advisor mag --
latest edition.

BTW, I was in Hawaii in '88 & it was the only place I could
really relax. I looked at real estate & decided I could
not afford $100k for a grass shack! But I can dream
can't I!?!?!?! If you ever need help kick started an app...
